A picture perfect ending, exactly what we hoped for. A couple of hours of solid beach action on beefy yellowtail and four nice Butts put the finishing touch on this satisfying, productive run. The set up was ideal this morning - out of the weather that is up and honkin' on the offshore grounds, scenic and gorgeous, balmy again but not the furnace we baked in down below, absolutely perfect. We rolled in, set up for conditions, and got down to business in short order.

Twenty two to thirty pound yellowtail were the reward for this group of fishermen that have fully embraced the rich diversity in scenery and species this voyage as well as the exceptional quantity of fishing time. Just how I prefer - lines in the water the majority of the time in the best conditions possible; good catching mixed in and the recipie for success is complete.

After bumping our way up the line tonight we return in the a.m. On Saturday departing again on the annual Larry Brown September seven day run with Captain Brian Sims behind the helm. Conditions favor another productive variety outing as Capt. Sims makes the most of a host of options. In closing today we again extend our gratitude to Ed Tschernoscha and Baja Fish Gear for the many years of support and valuable information they have provided to southland anglers. The guys up there have earned acclaim with good reason - they are fishermen, and understand what fishermen need to be successful.

One more seven day voyage then we are off and running on our longer - ten and eleven day fall voyages. A remainder though that we broke up the one voyage in late October scheduling a couple of weekend three day run instead. Dates are:Saturday October 25 - Tuesday October 28, and Friday October 31 - Monday November 3. Cost is $1100 for both voyages and includes everything - Mexican permits and Visas. Tracy and I will be in the office throughout next week if you have any questions or are ready to book on.

Final voyage photos for this run close out the adventure on a high note. Edrie Rios is a happy camper with this beautiful, 25# class yellowtail he landed on the iron, Ron Morton landed this bonus Butt on the squid imitation yo-yo jig complete with red sash, and Dennis Spann is fired up on the twenty five pound class yellowfin landed a couple of days prior.
